I have told you
we were having some of the

i faring. It seems to
the English language is in-
to express the intensity

the verb hot?
jost awful to play ball; I
am really sorry for those who
are playing all ttie time these hot
days. I am just sitting by en-
joying the breeze, as I am not in
the game, neither am I betting
it. I will be so glad when
Saturday comes and goes,
then 1 expect those that are
so hot, can take a cooling off. I
aee the names of the county can-
didates are still in the Ledger.
If it was not for that, we would
not know who was running for
oonnty offices these cyclone days.

Real Protection ta Buildlnga.
For years there hat been a good
deal of doubt existing not only
unong farmers, but generally, about
the aucceoo of lightning rods as a
protection to buildings. In a short
blue book W. H. Day, professor of
physics in the Ontario Agricultural
college, proves by a few carefully
chosen facts and figurea that light*
ning rods, properly installed, are
almost an absolute protection. Ha
says in his introduction:
"Out of every thousand dollar^
worth of damage done to unrodded
buildings by lightning $999 worth
would be saved if those buildings
were properly rodded. A pretty
strong statement, you aay. We real-
ize that it is strong. It has taken
thirteen years of investigation to
compile the data upon which this
statement is founded. In the re-
ports of twenty-four insurance com-
panies only two rodded buildings
were burned by lightning, both due
to defective installation, such as not
lieing buried the required eight or
ten feet in the ground, etc.
"Forty companies reported last
year 621 lightning damages in On-
tario, totaling $113,459. One hun-
dred and ten buildings were burned.
Out of the 621 buildings struck only
sixteen were rodded, and the loss on
them waa $3,917."—Minneapolis

europe's highest dam.
What is said to be the highest dam
in Europe has just been completed
across the river Bober, near Hirseli-
berg. It is 204 feet high, 164 feet
wide at the base, and 24 feet at the
top, with a curved plan, cóncavo to
down stream, of a radius of 280 fa t.
It contains about nine million cubic
feet of stone masonry and cement.
There are a spillway 280 feet wnle
and two outfalls at the base four
feet eleven inches in diameter. The
dam was erected for the double ob-
ject of flood prevention and power.
The power house is provided with
four turbine-driven generating sets,
each developing 1,500 horse power

To The Voters
Of Borlesoo Co.
This being the last issue of the
of the Ledger before the primary
1 desire to say a few words to
you in explanation of my failure
to see ]wrsonally all of the jieo*
pie at gatherings that 1 have been
able to attend. My first day's
work meeting the people at Fren-
stat, on account of standing so
much, almost incapacitated my
foot which has been giving 8 <
much trouble of late, for any
further work, as I am unable to
stand but a minute or two at a
time. '
On this account I trust you
will pardon me for my inability
to personally meet you all.
To those who have been for me
all along and to those who may ;
decide to supixirt me before
July 25th, I wish to warn you of |
any underhanded tricks that1
might be played against me,'
which I would be of course, ow-
ing to this late hour, unable to
clear up to your satisfaction.
In this connection 1 give you my
solum promise that if you will
elect me District Clerk I will
give you aSoBKR, Efficient ser
vice: If I fail in Any instance to
do so, 1 further pledge you that
I will voluntarily hand you my
resignation so that you will not
be put to the trouble of asking
me to resign. 1 acknowledge
with humility that in the past
I have been periodically intern
perate, but 1 realize fully that
the people will not and should
not condone this conduct of a
public servant. So gentlemen, it
you wish to do a real christain
act, give me a chance, July 25th.
and I again promise you faith-
fully that I will merit your kind
ness with a service that you will
approve in every particular.
Yours truly,
Advt. Will W. I^angham.
